@Comptoonman This is a period of change for California's Great America. For several years the park had no idea what their future was because of Levi's Stadium being built in their parking lot and there was talk of closing the park. Because of that the park was maintained but no real investments were made in it because you don't put money into something that you're going to close. Once they secured a long term lease on the land (99 years I believe) the park then got the city to relax some major restrictions that were keeping them from building such as height limits. They then came up with a master plan that will see major renovations/improvements to the park over the course of 20 years. The first two things they did were to add two new coasters (Gold Striker and Railblazer) as well as renovate Vertigo into Patriot taking it from a standing coaster to a floorless coaster. The water park happens to be this year's project. Another coaster is coming soon and the front of the park is going to be converted into a Downtown Disney type shopping/entertainment area. They also plan to convert the park to a year round operation which they've been slowly moving to with the additions of Halloween Haunt and Winterfest. Keep an eye on my channel I'll be posting an interview I did with the VP/GM of Great America where he talks about a lot of these things and how the park is hoping to evolve.

Thank you for that detailed information, the only thing I know about Great America is, I will believe it when I see it. From what I hear from other sources there is not enough real estate to add all these features to the park. My wife and I are not renewing our season pass, we had it with this place. We are now going to Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, where all promises and promotions are fulfilled, check it out.

COMPTOONMAN I'm 100% sure he knows what discovery kingdom is and what are you qualms with CGA, they're doing heavy investments and seriously overhauling the park, of you're not impressed by what they're doing I doubt discovery kingdom will satisfy your needs

Well it's a big deal, if you're into water parks, the only thing this announcement affected my wife and I, we are not renewing our season pass. We go to CA Great America for the amusement park. With the removal of two rides this past year, and removal of several rides over the years, the amusement park, is getting less entertaining, for non-waterpark families. And we understand, there is no plans to construct, any new roller coasters, or any of the kind of attraction for that matter. So being roller coaster fans, there is hope, it is called Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo California, they have the coasters and attractions, for us non-waterpark people.

That's you guys. When I went to Six Flags Great America for the first time, my parents insisted we go to the waterpark. For the first four years, we went to the waterpark and barely went to the amusement park. The waterpark was always crowded. I am under the impression that waterparks are more popular with the general public than amusement parks, and that this will cause more growth for the park than Railblazer did. Also, I personally really like Sidewinder Safari not for the coaster, but for the immersive animal exhibit that they promised to add,
